A member asked:
Can you get an std by kissing around the genital not actually on it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Without direct oral contact with a partner's genitals -- the penis, labia, varinal opening, etc -- no STD is likely. If this is your only exposure and you're not having any symptoms, you needn't worry and don't need testing.
